WASHINGTON 鈥斅燗 study has found a link between exposure to cellphone frequency waves and cancer.
The indicated low incidences of malignant tumors in the brains and聽hearts of male rats that have been exposed to radiofrequency radiation (RFR), commonly emitted by cellphones, in utero and throughout their lifetimes.
With the widespread use of communication devices, 鈥渆ven a very small increase in the incidence of disease resulting from exposure to RFR generated by those devices could have broad implications for public health,鈥� the report reads.
The partial findings (other NTP studies are聽ongoing) appear to support the conclusions regarding the possible carcinogenic potential of RFR.
Tissues nearest to a cellphone’s聽antenna can absorb the kind of radiation that cellphones emit,聽the says.
The and the聽say聽no scientific evidence establishes a definite link between cancer and cellphone use.
Ron Melnick, who ran the NTP project until聽retiring in 2009 and has seen the study’s results, told , 鈥淲here people were saying there鈥檚 no risk, I think this ends that kind of statement.鈥�
